Leopard Nail Art

Nothing screams Fall this year than animal prints.  It's literally everywhere and let's face it not all of us can afford to follow this big trend, investing in pricey purses, footwear and attire, right? This is why I'm so excited to share this trendy inexpensive nail art with you.  You can achieve the same or similar look using the polishes you have on hand.  An easy way to replicate this look is by searching online for animal print patterns or you may go through your existing wardrobe to see if you can get your hands on a pattern. Then simply follow the pattern as a guide for choosing a color scheme. 

As pictured below, are several images taken under different lighting conditions.











To create this look all I did was applied a base coat followed by two coats of golden yellow polish and allowed to thoroughly dry.   Next step I used a brown polish and placed uneven random dots.  Once that dried I drew around the dots with a black polish, again using the uneven technique just so it would look like an actual leopard.  I also added a bit of gold sparkly polish here and there just to pull the look together and to seal in the design, I  applied two coats of a topcoat.

Somehow I really love this combination of colors.   I hope this post inspires you to create your own leopard nails this Fall.

Now talk about being frugal and trendy at the same time! Share/Save/Bookmark
